Food, atmosphere and service was great as was the view.
The food was good but nothing special, with the exception of the deep fried ice cream which was delicious and large-portioned. The service was friendly. The big selling point for my family and I was the waterfront location and huge outdoor patio.
Good for family meal or friends get together.

Mexicali Rosa's is a popular Mexican restaurant near Dow's Lake known for its lively atmosphere and tasty dishes. The food includes favorites like Taco Salads and Texas Red Chili, and vegetarian options are available. Visitors recommend the deep fried ice cream, the club quesadilla, the fish tacos, pollo chicken tacos, nachos, and Mango Chilli Margherita. The restaurant features a rooftop patio and a huge outdoor patio with a waterfront location, which is great for enjoying the nice weather with friends or family, making it especially popular during the summer and Tulip Festival season. Guests often praise the friendly, attentive, and fast service, and the hostess and staff are welcoming and friendly, especially when celebrating special occasions. The scene offers a lovely view over the lake, creating an inviting atmosphere. The patio is dog friendly, and the restaurant is kid-friendly with accommodations for families. Parking is easy to find just one street up from the restaurant. Some guests find the Mexicali nachos plain and small for the price, and service can be slow at times. The staff consistently provides great service, and the food is often delicious. However, some cleanliness issues, like cobwebs near light fixtures, unclean washrooms with flies, and the presence of mice near entrances and possibly from the kitchen, have been noted. Despite these concerns, many enjoy dining here, especially during summer on the patio, where the atmosphere is even more enjoyable.
